What is dialog.xxxxxxx for?

[Jacky, Jack Chan]

Hi there,

I noticed that at /var/lib/mongo, there are some data files like
dialog.4d65d6d4 and keep occupying the space, what is that for? Can I
just remove it?

Thank you very much for your time!

Best, Jacky

Is that a config server or normal server?
Should only be there if you have --configsvr or --diaglog at the command line.
Its basically a very verbose internal log so that if there is an issue
we can figure out what.
Its safe to remove if needed, just not the last one that's currently
being written to.

... or remove --diaglog if you didn't put it there on purpose :)
